GS freettee imprudent, wholly characteristic is the Colonel's YO. 18,646 retort to “those who would have it that he wants to be king.” “T always feel inclined to answer,” Mr. Roosevelt is re- ported-to have said in the West, “that the people who make this etatement don’t know kings or else they would not put it down as my ambition to be one, They don’t know kings as I do, Other things I might like to be, but not a king. The constitutional mon- arch of the present time comes nearer being « cross between @ per- petual Vice-President and the leader of tho Four Hundred than any- thing else I know.” Thus does the Great Progressive with singular naivete wavo aside the charge that he would like to be king, showing petulant resentment at the suggestion that he could be anything so tame, so restrained, so limited. Also he leta slip a word of pitving scorn for the constitutional ruler bound by safeguards of law and national precedent to curb his personal will and caprice. The Colonel should have thought iwice before letting his ex- uberance lead him to confession. “Other things I might like to be.” Czar, Emperor, Supreme Dictator, First Consul—any robe free of those absurd constitutional hobbles that would drive a Strong Man| like Me to distraction. The people who think Mr. Roosevelt would like to be king may not know kings. But they know Mr. Roosevelt and they know what they mean. They mean that the Colonel’s incorrigible restiveness of will, his extravagance, his impatience of restraint, his frequently displayed intolerance of any law or tradition that interferes with, progress as he sees it have conyinced thinking men that, tempera- mentally and ‘in all movements of his masterful mind, this ambitious man is more prone to see his destiny as dictator ef an adoring people than as head of a constitutional democracy of intelligent and respon- eible electors. Does he disprove it? sorpottmenionstljtincionmncmesiin’ Necessity hath no law.

MAKE POLICING A PROFESSION. TECHNICAL COURSE in the science of policing has been A established by M. Lepine, the famous Chief of Paris Police. Police engaged in detecting and pursuing criminals are to have thorough training in the principles and methods that have proved most successful. Hitherto police methods have been handod along in vague hit or miss fashion by observation and word of mouth. These methods are now to be carefully collected, systematized and put into form where they may be of practical service. Police recruits will thus havo the advantage of the sifted and codified experience of their predecessors and also of the police wisdom ¢ of ‘other countries. Each department of crime—burglary, theft, forgery, murder, ete., as well as special divisions such as jewel thefts, scientific burglaries and the like—receive separate treatment in tho light of how policemen or detectives should proceed in each case to tecure the greatest possible degree of precision, saving of time and coneentration of effort. Candidates who complete the course with credit receive diplomas and decorations and become eligible for ad- vanced positions. The idea is an excellent one because it tends to put into the policeman’s work clements of intelligence, dignity and progress that ares*pund to prove attractive to an increasingly better claes of men. jadhen the New York police have been put into shape again this pla® ‘of a’ course in Scientific Policing is well worth considering. Anything that can lift the policeman’s job once and for all out of the graft class, and make it appeal to honest, intelligent young men as an interesting, progressive career, with rewards of its own, will work & miracle of good for the honor and efficiency of the force, see Letters from the People onan.

A wife's fortune fs never ‘made’ It has to ,be EARNED-—every penny of it—by the aweat of her brow, and her heart, and her Meals, and her imagination. That old fallacy that a girl's ‘fortune’ is ‘made* on her wedding~lay has lured more women into matrimony with thelr eyes shut than any other silly superstition ever handed down from mother to daughter.” “But when you've GOT @ husband,” protested the Mere Man, “you've GOT him “Have you?” tnqutred the Rib eatirically. “Have you got a corner lot the moment you receive the deed and pay the first instalment on it?
